For the prog fan that is not a prog fan

If not, just forget all about all my suggestions.

I agree, the first VdGG album I listened to was Pawn Hearts and I totally hated it... I couldn't get into it, it was a bad experience... that was 2 years ago I think, but, a couple of months ago I got Godbluff and Still Life and I was marveled by these 2 albums... I've given Pawn Hearts a few chances since then, but I still can't enjoy it

Now Darkshade, I'm reaching the point where prog rock isn't  enough and I'm starting to dig in jazz-fusion, though I'm familiar with some Chick Corea, Weather Report & the Mahavishnu Orchestra... so my musical journey hasn't been so long as yours.

My point is, I don't know if you have check'em out, if you have, I don't  know if you'll like'em or not, maybe you'll hate them... but since you like Zappa, Mr Bungle & Gentle Giant...

you should, I mean... YOU MUST CHECK CARDIACS...
